There was no one in the Crystal Valley when the few Demon Overlords fought. If it weren't for the territory that allowed the power of that battle to be fully released, the entire valley would be destroyed.
"Christina" quietly looked at Chen Rui who had returned to "Richard"'s face on the ground. Coincidentally, the last time she saw this face, he also looked like he was about to die.
"I seem to have … done something superfluous." The man smiled bitterly. His weak voice indicated that his life was coming to an end.
"Not entirely." The woman was still very calm. "The 3 of them are all peak stage Demon Overlord powerhouses, especially the Dragons. They are quite powerful. Although Manu is only a Demon Overlord who just advanced to the later stage, his territory happens to restrain the [War Puppet]. He is the biggest threat to me. If it weren't for you, my chance of winning is not high when I can't use the [War Puppet]. I might even have to pay a considerable price. "
"Since this is the case … Manu's arrangements should be within your expectations right?" The man smiled bitterly with a hint of self-mockery.
"That's right. His elites should have been completely annihilated by now. My army will be here soon. Manu himself was hit by my [Dark Phoenix Power] just now. He will definitely die within half a month. Even Raizen can't save him. "The woman's voice was full of strong confidence.
"It turns out that everything is within your control. What about me … I already know your biggest secret." The man was still smiling bitterly, "Even if you want to dismember the body, at least leave the head. It's my last request."
"Who is Paglio? Why does he make the crystal dragon feel fear? Also, are you from the Pride Royal Family or the Gluttony Royal Family? "
"Paglio is just a friend of mine. I can guarantee that he has no threat to the Shadow Empire, and there are no terrifying forces behind me … As for my identity, no matter what, I am different from these people."
The woman nodded lightly. He is indeed different.
"I don't have much time …" The man seemed to be exhausting his last life force to squeeze out these words. "I forgot to tell you that I have … used the resurrection potion once."
When the last sentence was said, a bottle of black potion just happened to appear in the woman's hand.
When these words fell into her ears, the woman who was originally full of confidence suddenly stiffened. The fragile glass bottle shattered with a "bang", as if something in her heart had shattered.
The potion that could make the entire Demon World go crazy spilled onto the ground and quickly sank into the soil, disappearing without a trace.
The Resurrection Potion could only be used once in a person's life, and the Nirvana Blood was the same.
This man's affairs were always out of his control, and it was the same this time. For the last time.
"Can I see your face again … before my vision blurs completely …"
The woman's hand trembled, and she immediately sat down. She gently hugged his badly mutilated body in her arms and removed the veil on her face. It was still that beautiful face. Compared to Christina in the Silent Night Wetland, she was a little more mature and charming.
Was this her embrace? Soft, fragrant, warm …
In terms of beauty, whether it was Jía or Isabella, they were a bit inferior. This was the first beauty of the Demon Realm. Her reputation was well-deserved. However, there was a touch of sadness in her star-like eyes.
"Don't you have a soul tool? As long as the soul tool is not destroyed, you won't die. "
"You still remember this story … Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to make up this complete story for you …" The man's breath became weaker. "Actually, it's not just this. I have a lot of things that I hid from you and even lied to you. Will you blame me?"
The white jade-like fingers gently stroked his blood-stained hair, "No."
If your persistence is to protect everyone, then my current persistence is just to protect you.
Actions are the best words.
He didn't lie to her in this sentence. That was enough.
The chilly wind blew, gently ruffling the woman's slightly curly hair.
"Should I call you Christina or Kathleen?"
"Christina will accompany you forever. After today, she will no longer exist in this world. As for Catherine, her life doesn't just belong to herself, so she can't make this kind of decision. "
Chen Rui understood what Catherine meant. Christina would be buried with him, and this affection would be buried in Catherine's heart forever.
In the end, Christina couldn't escape falling in love with him.
"After I die, bury me there." Chen Rui couldn't lift his fingers. He just moved his gaze a little, "I like that hillside. Every night, I look up at the stars in the sky and think of your eyes …"
Next, Chen Rui intermittently told her about the huge crystal mine vein under the crystal dragon's lair and some other things. He also told her to dispel a self-destruction magic circle that was about to be activated in the lair as soon as possible.
After saying these last words, Chen Rui's eyes became more and more hazy, "I … have never seen … your smile. Can you …"
Catherine smiled, and the tears in her eyes gushed out. She didn't suppress her tears. She lowered her head and kissed his lips gently. Hot tears flowed on Chen Rui's face.
The breath of the man in her arms disappeared completely. Catherine sat for a long time. The desolation and sadness on her face kept changing. Finally, when she put down the veil, she regained her calmness. She picked up his body and walked toward the hillside step by step.
Catherine remembered Chen Rui's instructions. After burying him, she quickly went to the crystal dragon's lair. Sure enough, she found a lot of excavated mines and crystal mines. It seemed that the huge crystal mine vein below really existed. This crystal mine would bring great wealth to the empire.
There were sounds of fighting coming from the valley entrance in the distance. It seemed that the army had eliminated Manu's elites and rushed over.
The strange thing was that she didn't find the so-called self-destruction magic circle after searching for a long time. Catherine was originally a smart person. Now that she calmed down and thought about it, she felt that something was wrong.
Her figure swayed, and in the blink of an eye, she had come to the hillside where Chen Rui's "body" was buried. Sure enough, the "burial" site had been dug up. No, it should be broken from the inside out. There was a faint bloodstain on the ground that led straight to a big house with an open door above.
Catherine's eyes flashed, and she quickly entered the big house. This house should be a laboratory. It was sturdy and spacious. The bloodstain disappeared in a room, and there were two lines of words on the ground.
"My dear, you promised that you won't blame me."
"There's no time to write too much. I will definitely come back."
Catherine's original sadness suddenly turned into anger. This bastard! He actually lied to me and faked his death!
I'm the wisest person, and I actually … fell for this trick!
Was I blinded by the uncontrollable feelings at that time? Or was I infected by that damn stupidity?
Once again, this man is not in my control!
The most hateful thing is that he even cheated me of my smile and kiss!
By the way, that kiss seems to be given by her for free … Thinking of this, Catherine, who had always been calm, couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry. Although there was still a little peace of mind and happiness deep in her heart, she mostly expressed shame and anger.
"Damn man!"
As a victim of emotions, the innocent laboratory turned into powder in an instant.
At the same time, the figure of a certain damn man appeared in a hidden place in the misty swamp.
[Star Gate]. This teleportation point of the misty swamp was set up by him when he came out with Sabrina last time. Although many steps of the escape plan were temporarily changed due to changes, it was finally successful.
Chen Rui looked really messy now. He was covered in blood and mud, and there was a big hole in his heart. With the cockroach attribute of "regeneration", as long as his head was fine, he wouldn't really die.
Fortunately, his heart happened to be gone. There would be no sign of beating before it recovered. Coupled with the skill of breath holding, he was able to successfully fake his death in front of Catherine.
Although he occasionally thought of the possibility that Christina was Catherine before, he quickly rejected it. Now that the truth had surfaced, it felt like a dream. The Demon Realm's first beauty and first wisest person really had an affair with a small character like me? It seems like I even became her first man.
Thinking of the kiss just now, Chen Rui couldn't help but feel hot. This mood caused the wound in his chest to hurt greatly. Although he pretended to be dead once, the serious injury was definitely not faked. This time, his heart was completely shattered. It would probably take at least 10 days to half a month to complete regeneration and restore his combat power. Fortunately, it wasn't the first time his heart was destroyed. After drinking the healing potion, the wound healed a lot faster.
By the way, I seemed to have forgotten to give her that strange little person when I escaped in a hurry just now. Let's talk about it next time. Maybe it can be a small excuse for reunion.
The secret of Catherine's identity, Chen Rui didn't intend to reveal it to anyone, including Athena. This was a kind of respect. As for Broc, Azgalor, and others, they should have already guessed the identity of "Christina". With Catherine's wisdom, she could completely use Christina's characteristic of never showing her true face to create a real noble lady and the queen to appear at the same time to confuse the public or set up a trap.
Although it had been confirmed that Catherine was in love with him, she was still the ruler of the Shadow Empire. At the same time, she was also a woman with the greatest irreplaceable obsession. She could even be called a kind of "righteous" paranoia.
This little bit of temptation couldn't influence the choice of her greatest obsession. For a ruler, Chen Rui, the man who knew her biggest secret and also possessed various secrets such as the Beelzebub Royal Family's artifact, might have an unpredictable end. This escape plan of faking death was thought up in a moment of desperation after discovering her identity, but it was the best choice.
The discovery of this truth made Chen Rui feel that the gap between him and "Christina" was even wider. The king of the Shadow Empire, the powerhouse at the peak of the pyramid second only to Raizen in the Demon Realm … However, judging from her performance at the last moment, he was not without hope.
Even if she is Catherine, there is still hope.
It's still a matter of strength. At least, I have to have the same strength as her. Let's talk about other things. Before that, "I will definitely come back" is just a Gray Wolf-style self-comfort. It can't be put into practice.
Work hard, man!!
